Hellbender Salamander is in the Endangered Species list.
Unfortunaley, the Hellbender Salamander has gone into the endangered species list and soon could become extinct.The population has shown a significant decline and the reasons for such decline are many. The most important factor putting in danger the bellbenders is the illegal pet trade. The population has also been altered due to loss of habitat, poor water quality, mining, and sedimentation.
Weeds appear to be benefical to farmers
Weeds are usually the enemy of a gardener. The fact that they want to eliminate the weeds is obvious since they provide an unpleasant look especially compared to other beautiful flowers. It is surprising though, that many gardeners have not taken in consideration the benefits and importance of weeds. They are extremely valuable to species of birds, insects, and animals. Many flowers and seeds are the production of weeds which is why they are vital in an ecosystem. If farmers would keep this hated plant, they would be observing a variety of seeds for the farm and the animals that feed on them.
‘Stem Cell Zoo’ To Save Endangered Species
Surprisingly we can now depend on cells to save endangered species. With only seven white rhinos left, and drill primates suffering from diabetes, scientists have began experimenting with these animals using stem cells. The stem cells provide that hope that scientists are looking for since they can be turned into any type of cell in the body. Because of this, they are being used to not only cure diabetes in drill primates but also reproduce more white rhinos. Both species are in danger of going extinct therefore it is crucial to act immediately and effectively.
